    Notes: Summary Correlated thin-section, freeze-fracture and tracer examinations were used to examine the blood-nerve barrier of the Vater-Pacini corpuscles in cat mesentery. A laminar inner core and a multilayered outer core enfolded the terminal nerve fiber of the corpuscle. The lamellar cells of both cores were characterized by numerous vesicular membrane invaginations. Freeze-fracture images and tracer experiments employing lanthanum nitrate proved that these invaginations are static structures mediating in neither active pinocytosis nor the transcellular transport of metabolites. In both inner and outer cores, lamellar cells were connected to one another by tight junctions of either the zonula or the fascia type, that occurred between lamellar-cell processes within the lamella and between the cells of adjacent lamellae. Intravascularly applied lanthanum lay at the out-ermost regions of the corpuscles without entering their internal zones, apparently because lamellar-cell tight junctions hindered further penetration. The results of our investigations suggest strongly that the Vater-Pacini corpuscle lamellae enfolding the nerve terminal form an effective diffusion barrier against the permeation of tissue fluids, thus preserving the corpuscle internal circumference.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics and absolute bioavailability of a new nonselective β-adrenoreceptor blocking agent, carteolol, were investigated after administration of single intravenous and oral doses to eight normal volunteers. Plasma and urine drug concentrations were measured by an HPLC method. The pharmacokinetic parameters after intravenous dosing were obtained by a two-compartment analysis: elimination or β-phase t1/2 4.7±0.3 h; Vc, 0.74±0.101/kg; Vd, 4.05±0.48 l/kg; Cl, 10.13±0.94 ml/min/kg; ClR, 6.56±0.58 ml/min/kg; and ClNR, 3.57±0.40 ml/min/kg. The absolute bioavailability obtained from plasma data was 83.7±8.0%, which was consistent with that derived from analysis of urine of 82.7±4.2%. The amounts excreted unchanged in urine up to 48 h after the intravenous and oral doses were 65.0±1.5% and 53.8±3.2% of the administered doses, respectively. The t1/2 for removal of the drug derived from plasma and urine findings after intravenous and oral dosing were similar, which indicates that the main route of elimination of carteolol is via the kidneys. As the ClR of carteolol exceeded the Cl of creatinine there may be renal tubular secretion of the drug.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of ketoprofen was studied in the same healthy subjects after single oral, intramuscular and rectal doses, and after repeated oral administration. No significant difference in the mean t1/2 (1.13–1.27 h) was observed after the different modes of administration. The mean [AUC] 0 ∞ after rectal administration of a suppository showed the minimum significant difference (p〈0.05) from that after oral administration of the capsule. The apparent volume of distribution (Vd/F) was approximately 10–15% of body weight. The renal contribution (mean, 0.10–0.15 ml/min/kg) to the plasma clearance of free ketoprofen was assumed to be, at most, 8.3–12.9%. The projected cumulative excretion of total (free plus conjugated) ketoprofen via urine exceeded 63–75% of the dose, of which approximately 90% was ketoprofen glucuronide. A mean of 71–96% and 73–93% of the oral capsule was estimated to be systemically available after administration of the intramuscular preparation and rectal suppository, respectively. In four of seven subjects, CPK concentration was elevated after the intramuscular injection. The mean steady-state concentration of ketoprofen in plasma ranged from 0.43 to 5.62 µg/ml after the final dose of a 50 mg q.i.d. regimen. The disposition data and plasma levels observed at steady-state were in agreement with those predicted from the single oral dose study. The accumulation ratio was 1.08±0.08. The results suggest that the rectal suppository can be recommended as an extravascular mode of administration of this drug.

    Notes: Summary The bioavailability and pharmacokinetics of theophylline from a plain uncoated and 2 newly designed, sustained-release tablet formulations, as compared to intravenous aminophylline, were studied in 12 healthy adult male volunteers. The subjects were divided into two groups (n=6) with respect to smoking habit and on 4 separate occasions each received, on a randomized cross-over basis, a single dose of 400 mg equivalent of theophylline from every dosage form. The intravenous aminophylline study showed that habitual smoking had a significant (p〈0.05) effect on plasma theophylline clearance (0.051±0.006 vs 0.035±0.004 l/kg/h). Smoking significantly reduced the raw AUC from the 4 dosage forms (p〈0.05), but did not change the characteristics of absorption of each formulation. There was a non-significant trend towards reduced absolute bioavailability of theophylline from sustained-release formulations in smokers (percentage mean difference — 16% for one formulation and 13% for another). The trend was not observed for the plain uncoated tablet, which was rapidly absorbed (p〈0.01 to 0.05 in Ka, tmax and Cmax compared to sustained-release tablets). Similarity of the in vitro dissolution profiles of the two sustained-release formulations did not imply similarity of the in vivo absorption characteristics. Plasma clearances of theophylline and antipyrine were significantly correlated (p〈0.05,r=0.693,n=10). Thus, smoking enhanced the elimination of theophylline regardless of the dosage form administered. However, the extent to which habitual smoking may affect the hepatic first-pass effect on theophylline from sustained-release formulations requires further study. The results also suggest that theophylline and antipyrine may share a similar or common and presumably polycyclic hydrocarbon-inducible form(s) of microsomal drugmetabolizing enzyme.
